Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 10.63.16

svastír ídd hí prápathe śréṣṭhā rékṇasvaty abhí yā́ vāmám éti | sā́ no amā́ só araṇé ní pātu svāveśā́ bhavatu devágopā ||

స్వస్తియే నిజంగా ప్రపథంలో శ్రేష్ఠమైనది—పూర్ణతతో సమృద్ధిగా, వాంఛిత మేలువైపు సాగేది. అది మమ్మల్ని ఇక్కడను దూరస్థలాలలోను కాపాడుగాక; అరణ్యంలోను రక్షించుగాక. అది మాకు సులభ నివాసమై ఉండుగాక—దేవగోపా, దేవులచే పరిరక్షితమై.
